Storyline

- TriviaThe events in this episode were originally intended to take place in the same episode as the ones in La Amara Vita (2021). However, budget concerns and other challenges ultimately forced the show runners to split them into two separate episodes.
- GoofsThere is an incorrect reference to Groucho Marx's 130th birthday. Though born in 1890, Marx's birthday is October 2 and the show is clearly set in the early COVID days of February 2020.
- Quotes
Bradley Jackson: My family is not like yours.
Laura Peterson: Don't cut me off. And stop assuming that there's only one path to fucking up your kids. But you're not a kid anymore. Fuck-up kids have an excuse. Fucked-up adults get therapy. Fucked-up adults change their circumstances.
Featured review
Witherspoon can act
Alex's downward spiral - her upset about the forthcoming tell-all book that will reveal her Mitch hookup, her meltdown that saw her flee from the high profile debate moderator job - is big drama, to be sure, but can also feel stifling, so it's oddly nice to have a chance to let other stories grab the spotlight. Truth be told, Bradley has always been my favorite The Morning Show character and this episode fully reminded me of why. It doesn't hurt that the show finally digs back into the uncomfortable dichotomy at the heart of who she is - she's a person who is both ashamed of and angry at her family, and who wants to escape the trappings of poverty and abuse that generally defines life where she's from. Though there's a moment where it looks as though Cory will come clean about his decision to out Bradley in order to bury the damaging story about Hannah, but he doesn't and you can basically watch any hopes he ever had for a relationship with her wither and die in front of him. That he specifically maneuvered Laura Peterson onto the show for maximum impact is just the icing on the cake of horrors.
